The present study aims to explore the relationship between family climate and attitudes toward education among pre-service teachers. For this, Descriptive survey method used for 130 pre-service teachers from D.Ed. colleges of Yamunanagar district. The results revealed that pre-service teachers reported a moderately positive attitude toward education (Mean = 174.59, SD = 55.80) and experienced diverse family climates (Mean = 181.50, SD = 61.63), indicating variability in both home environments and educational attitudes. The correlation between family climate and attitude toward education was weak and negative (r = -0.188) and not statistically significant, suggesting that family climate does not strongly influence educational attitudes of teachers. Gender significantly influenced attitudes, with female pre-service teachers exhibiting higher mean scores (Mean = 194.25) than males (Mean = 156.44, t = 3.73, p < 0.01), while no significant gender difference was observed in family climate. These findings indicate that, although gender affects attitudes toward education, family climate appears to have little impact, highlighting the influence of other factors in shaping pre-service teachers’ educational perspectives.
